Traveling without a mahram is not permissible regardless of the reason of the travel.

So you cannot travel without a mahram, not to visit you sister or anyone else according to the statement of the prophet (sall-Allahu alaihi WA sallam), "the woman is not to travel except with a mahram" which was reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim in their authentic collections of hadeeth. For more details, please refer to the below sites. However, there is fatwa that Muslim woman can travel wothout a Mahram if she is in a good trustful accompany and secured from any evil deeds.

If a wife wishes to accompany her husband on the pilgramage (Hajj) she is entitled to. Most Islamic schools of jurispudence require a woman to be accompanied by a "Mahram" which is a male being her husband or another mail whom she cannot legally marry such as her brother, father, uncle, etc. However, in recent times it is becoming increasingly acceptable for woman in groups to perform the pilgramage without any Mahram or just one Mahram as a sort of "guardian".
